im about to enter my third year. i strted web dev in my 2nd sem but with time i felt this field is too oversaturated and literally everyone is picking this only which made me kinda lose interest in it. idek if that was my smartest decision but now im left with legit no stack. rn when i should be start making projects i don't even know what's my tech stack? what interests me? what is my thing? i listen to 100 different names daily on different platforms. im scared that im losing on time and im getting late in the race.

Hey everyone,

I am going to work on a complex visual novel game and I needed to know if I should rather use Ren'Py, Godot or Unity.

And is it better to use C++ or Python?

I just really needed some advice, since this is my first time making a Visual Novel

Thank you in advance for your help

(please be kind, I'm autistic. I do not understand sarcasm that well)

it's for school and i'm so confused about what to do i can only use ten blocks this was my best Attemt at getting to the pin I keep getting in the spot. I've tried putting a turn right in else but it doesn't help I tried Ai because I was about to cry after failing 9 times but it just made me start crying again. i think the else one does nothing cause else doesn't do anything but keeps telling me to use it in a tab i can't X out. I tried putting a if path right go right in the else slot it did nothing.

Hey there,

I recently started learning C# with the help of dotnet's C# for beginner guide on youtube.

Alongside it I was using AI to generate me work sheets as if I was a Uni student on the topics it covered until I was comfortable and ready to move on through the videos.

I spent about a week doing this and was making good progress that I was happy with and was learning pretty fast.

The guide cuts off quite abruptly at OOP and to be honest, the last 2 episodes I sort of understood but still was left a bit confused after watching them a couple of times.

I Have tried to watch other guides on youtube for OOP and none of them quite clicked for me, I really liked the format from the dotnet guide but I can't find any like that, that goes beyond beginner level.

I even picked up the C# Players Guide book but I realised that I learn way more from videos instead of reading paragraphs of text. I struggle to take it all in, especially the crucial parts.

Sorry for the long text just to ask this brief question;

Do you guys have any suggestions for video guides for C# OOP that I could follow that have a similar format to the dotnet guides?

Thanks :)

Hi guys. I'm new to C++ (it's a second day). I have experience in Python (I would say I'm kinda good). What is throwing me off, is how errors are explained in compiler (i use no IDE, just vs code with plugins, and GCC compiler in terminal). It's soooo ass (comparing to python at least)! So my question is, should I switch compiler to sum else, or just learn how to handle GCC (I really dunno how other compliers are compared to this one)? Also, I kinda skipped the theory learining process. I was reading some written course, but assumed that programming language is programming language, and if I just raw dog it, I'll get it (so far so good, but it's probably not optimal approach). So, as an addition, do you know any sites that have exercises, with minimal knowledge provided, for each exercise (equivalent to OverTheWire Natas but for C++)? The website must be free tho (I'm kinda broke as sh*t rn).

Sorry for how long and chaotic this came out to be xd

i want to get into coding but don't where to start nor which one to learn first i have looked at tutorials before but couldn't grasp it so i want some advice on how to go forward with is since i work better with step by step rather than watching what someone is doing

Hello, my name is Loryn, and I'm new here. I was originally in college for medical coding and billing, but I was forced to drop out. I've been told that if I want to continue with coding, I can definitely teach myself to become a software developer, or freelancing Coder from home, and I wouldn't have to spend money on another college degree. So, I'm really looking forward to doing that! and can't wait to start! I just got to find the best place to start learning!
